A view over Cologne

The KölnTurm is the centrepiece of the MediaPark, created to boost Cologne as a media location. On the 30th floor is a restaurant with a publicly accessible roof terrace – one of the city's finest viewpoints, with a sweeping view over the skyline to the cathedral. A modern landmark that shapes Cologne's silhouette to the north.
